Golden Jubilee Hospital in Clydebank Improves Patient Care and Reduces Food Waste with New Technology

Lodged by Gil Paterson Standard Motion 14 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the benefits of the introduction of a new innovative system that allows catering staff at the Golden Jubilee National Hospital in Clydebank to order inpatient meals on the same day, resulting in reductions in food waste; understands that the bedside menu ordering system allows staff to focus on delivering quality healthcare that is person-centred, and that the previous paper form service had to be done a day in advance and could take ward staff up to 90 minutes to complete; notes that breakfast food waste has been reduced by a massive 50% since the timely service has been introduced as changes in patient appetite are less likely, and thanks the staff of the Golden Jubilee for their continuous hard work.
